Perennial Devil's Heart of Gold
Wheat Wine Style Ale aged in bourbon barrels



Release Date --  May 18th 



More info....
The name "Devil's Heart of Gold" comes from what they call the "Devil's Cut".   When a bourbon ages in a barrel, a portion of the bourbon evaporates - this is called the "Angel's share".   Another portion of the bourbon gets absorbed into the new oak barrel -- this is called the "Devil's cut".    Therefore, the Heart of Gold beer aging in the barrel starts to absorb back some of the Devil's Cut and hence the name "Devil's Heart of Gold".



Perennial took their Heart of Gold and aged it in a Knob Creek 9yr Old Barrel back in October 2011.   The beer will have been resting for 7 months in barrel!
Here are some pictures of the barrel being filled - click here
